据法新社(AFP)报道，墨西哥总统Enrique Pena Nieto数分钟前撤销了11月3日中国铁建的高铁投标结果，并决定重启投标程序。墨西哥交通部长Gerardo Ruiz EsparZa称，取消的原因是为了避免出现对投标程序合法性和透明度的怀疑。 中国工程院院士王梦恕表示，墨西哥突然取消中国铁建高铁投标的消息背后不一定有着复杂的因素。如果按国际招标高透明度来看，中国高铁无论是质量还是造价，均是世界第一，没有竞争对手，谁不选择中国高铁都是自身的损失。“包括美国都有意用中国高铁，现在也正在商谈之中，预计会不日谈成。” 王梦恕表示，中国目前高铁承接订单越来越多，并不需要“委曲求全”。因此，在高铁项目商谈之中，中国都会做到“有利可图”，不会干亏本的买卖。

Somehow the Christmas spirit had evaporated since that time, probably because I got just a little sick and disgusted when I had to put up the plastic trees with their cheap ornaments and made-in-Japan lights in the middle of September; when I went partially deaf from people yelling in my ears; when I became accustomed to hearing the same shrilling Christmas carols three times an hour over the public address system. No, Christmas didn't mean much any more, except more work and headaches. I dismissed these thoughts temporarily when I saw an irate customer heading my way. I adjusted my pre-tied tie, my plastic pocket protector with the red "K-Mart" printed on a Christmas tree background, and my plastic smile, and I was ready to meet her ...

【F1】 Increasingly, over the past ten years, people—especially young people—have become a-ware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly junk food, is not good for their health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods; foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today. 【F2】 Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit9 and grains which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matters, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. 【F3】 Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins. 【F4】 There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar, This is actually a non-essential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be an additive; the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! 【F5】 Yet all it does is Provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.

Many people believe that they will be happy once they arrive at some specific goal they set for them selves. However, more often than not, once you arrive "there" you will still feel dissatisfied, and move your "there" vision to yet another point in the future. By always chasing after another "there," you are never really appreciating what you already have right "here". It is important for human beings to keep sober-minded about the age-old drive to look beyond the place where you now stand. On one hand, your life is enhanced by your dreams and aspirations. On the other hand, these drives can pull you farther and farther from your enjoyment of your life right now. By learning the lessons of gratitude and abundance, you can bring yourself closer to fulfilling the challenge of living in the present.
